The artist true gift is in seeing. Seeing not the material for what it is, but the potential in what it can become. That is what I love about this annual upcycle exhibit. I often hold on to things thinking I will use them in a new way that they weren’t necessarily created for. I have yet to find a way over the last hurdle in my head - the one of creation. My mind has ideas but all of the construction elements have yet to fall into place. That is why I come every year - to expose myself to techniques and ways of seeing that I had not yet to come to find on my own.
Maybe one day I will be able to connect all of the pieces…
